A parking brake shoe kit for the Dodge Avenger restores complete parking brake function, not just the friction lining. The most common reason a freshly serviced Avenger parking brake fails to hold on a hill is not worn shoes: it is a seized adjuster that prevents the shoe-to-drum clearance from being correctly set after installation on your Dodge Avenger. In the enclosed drum-in-hat cavity of the Avenger, road salt and meltwater concentrate corrosion on the adjuster threads, the return springs, and the strut. A kit that includes every hardware component alongside the shoes is the only way to guarantee the Dodge Avenger parking brake performs correctly after service.
The kit for your Dodge Avenger includes parking brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining at the correct arc length and lining width for the Avenger drum-in-hat diameter, return springs that retract both shoes cleanly after the Avenger parking brake is released, hold-down hardware with springs and pins that locate the shoes while permitting actuation on your Dodge Avenger, the parking brake strut connecting both shoes through the Avenger mechanism, the adjusting screw assembly setting correct shoe-to-drum clearance for reliable holding force on your Dodge Avenger, and retaining clips and washers securing the strut and adjuster in correct operating position on the Avenger.
The parking brake shoe adjuster on the Dodge Avenger sets the gap between the shoes and the inner drum surface of the Avenger rotor hat. In American winters, the drum-in-hat cavity of the Avenger traps road salt and moisture. The adjuster threads on your Dodge Avenger corrode and seize, sometimes within a single winter season. A seized adjuster on the Avenger produces a parking brake that either drags against the drum when released or fails to hold the Dodge Avenger on a slope when engaged.
Parking brake shoe kits for the Dodge Avenger are among the most vehicle-specific brake components in the catalogue. The shoe arc length, lining width, spring rates, strut length, and adjuster thread specification for the Avenger are all determined by the specific drum-in-hat diameter of the Dodge Avenger rotor. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Dodge Avenger exact year and model, with zinc-plated or coated hardware components to resist the concentrated corrosion inside the Avenger drum-in-hat cavity.
How do I know if my Dodge Avenger uses parking brake shoes?
Dodge Avenger vehicles with four-wheel disc brakes often use a drum-in-hat parking brake requiring separate shoes. Some Avenger variants instead use a caliper-actuated parking brake. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm your Dodge Avenger parking brake type and find the correct kit.
My Dodge Avenger parking brake light stays on after I release it, do the shoes need replacing?
A warning light that stays on after full release on the Dodge Avenger can indicate worn shoes, a faulty sensor, low brake fluid, or a stretched cable on the Avenger. If the Dodge Avenger fails to hold on a slope, a shoe kit replacement combined with cable and adjuster inspection is the recommended starting point for your Avenger.
Can I adjust the parking brake on my Dodge Avenger after installing a shoe kit without replacing the cable?
Yes, if the Avenger cable is in good condition and within its adjustment range. After correct shoe installation and adjuster setting on the Dodge Avenger, adjust the cable until the brake holds firmly within three to five clicks of Avenger lever travel.
